Alice understood that he was in no mood to listen to her, so she said, “I am listening”.
Alex looked in her eyes and asked, “Baby, what do you think about Mr. Morris?”
Alice frowned and asked, “Why are you asking about him to me?”
He replied, “Just reply to my question”.
She thought for some time, and said, “He is a nice person but didn’t have the right family, I like him, he is more like a father figure for me”.
Alex turned to face her and shared his thoughts, “Baby, you know, I have already investigated Mr. Morris, back in college he was in love with your Mom, but your Mom loved your Dad, and they got married, so Mr. Morris left the city.”
“But when I saw him yesterday, I felt like he still has feelings for your Mom, and your Mom has also suffered so much, why not let them get married to him?”
Alice’s eyes widened, and she said, “Tony is it possible? I would love to see my Mom happy again; she had already suffered so much because of me, if she can really have someone by her side, my heart will be at ease”.
Alex was happy to hear her thoughts, at first he thought that he might have to make Alice understand that no one can replace life partners’ place, but seeing her so understanding he sighed internally.
After some time, he said, “Baby, but you will have to talk to you Mom and get her agreement, and I will talk to Mr. Morris”.
Alex nodded happily, and said, “Tony I am very happy that you thought about my Mom”.
He replied smiling gently, “Baby don’t forget she is my Mom also”
Alice hugged him tightly, and said, “I love you”
Alex kissed her forehead, and said, “Hold on I have something for you”
He sat on the bed and opened the side table and bought a box in front of Alice.
Alice looked at it but before she could ask he opened the box and her couple pendant chain came out.
He picked the chain out and put it on her neck and said, “Baby never ever remove it”
She touched the pendant and smiled.
The next day Alex took her to the hospital for the routine checkup; Alice went inside with her Doctor. Alex was waiting outside the room with his bodyguards.
It had been ten minutes when Alice went inside, and generally, it takes twenty minutes for her checkup.
All of the sudden complete hospitals blacked out, no power, and no backup. Alex immediately ordered his bodyguards to go and check, but before bodyguards could take a step ahead, electricity came, and everything was normal.
Alex immediately entered the room to check on Alice but saw her coming out. He felt relaxed when he thought something was fishy when it suddenly blacked out, but after seeing her safe, he sighed internally.
After everything was done, they returned home.
It’s been a few days, but Alice’s hormonal change and mood swing was getting worse. She was always trying to seduce Alex to make love, which he avoided; he was afraid of harming the babies; he knows that he can’t control himself when it comes to Alice.
So it is better to maintain some distance till the babies are delivered safely.
Thinking about the safety of his wife and his babies, he distanced himself from Alice. He even started going to the office, arranging tight security at home to stay away from her a bit.
Alex had invited Mr. Morris to his office to discuss his marriage with Alice’s mother.
At first, Mr. Morris denied, saying, “How will Alice respond? I don’t want her to hate me.”
Alex replied calmly, “Mr. Morris, I have already spoken to her, and she is happy that her mother can have someone by her side.”
Mr. Morris thought for some time, and said, “But…….”
Before he could say anything more, Alex cut him off, saying, “I already know that you loved her back in college, and your marriage to Selena’s mother was an arranged marriage.”
“I respect you from the bottom of my heart for how you have carried a loveless married life, but still, you tried to give your best to your wife and daughter.”
Alex somehow made Mr. Morris agree; he was very happy and wanted to share this with Alice, so he came home early.
After having dinner, they were lying on their bed; Alex said, “Baby, when you are planning to talk to you, Mom?”
Alice looked at him, puzzled, and asked, “About what?”
Alex frowned and replied, “About her marriage with Mr. Morris.”
Alice turned to face him and said, laughing as if Alex had said some joke, “Are you kidding me, Alex, why does she need to marry at this age?”
Alex frowned tightly, looking at Alice in front of him; then, he thought that it might be because of pregnancy that she forgot about their discussion, so he nodded, saying, “yes, you are right.”
He thought that he would talk to her about this matter after the delivery.
Days passed, but Alice’s weird behavior didn’t come to normal, and soon it was the end of her ninth month, and her delivery dates were quite close, but her behavior was still the same.
Alex was working in his office when Joy entered his office without knocking; he only did this when there was something very urgent.
Alex frowned, but before he could ask a further question, Joy ran towards him and handed over a tab to him and said, “President, you must have a look.”
Alex frowned, looking at Joy’s anxious expression and looked at the tab given by tab after looking at the tab; he frowned tightly and kept the tab on the table.
He stood from his chair and walked towards the French window, he was thinking something, took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Alice’s number.
Alice picked up the call and said, “Hi Alex, what happened?”
